Description At the heart of the MLX90247 thermopile sensors is a silicon die with a central micromachined membrane surrounded by a bulk silicon edge. The hot junctions of the thermopile are positioned near the center of the membrane and the cold junctions are located above the bulk silicon edge. Infrared irradiation of the low thermal conductivity membrane creates a temperature difference between the membrane and the surrounding bulk silicon. The resulting thermopile voltage is a function of the temperature difference between the object and the sensor. Measurement of the absolute temperature of the object is possible by relating the thermopile signal to the temperature of the sensor. The exact temperature of the sensor is measured by a PTC thermistor integrated in the bulk silicon edge. No supply voltage is needed for the thermopile. The sensor and thermistor can be used independently of each other if desired, as the thermopile potential is floating.

Applications information The output voltage of the thermopile is positive when the object is at higher temperature than the sensor; it is negative when the object is at lower temperature than the sensor. As the output voltage can become positive as well as negative, the sensor has to be connected to a differential amplifier that can accept both positive and negative input signals. The figure below shows a solution using the MLX90313 infrared sensor interface chip, which accepts common mode input voltages in the range [-0.1V;Vdd-3V] IR+ IRRsens VSS MLX90247 VDD 5V IRINP C3 IRINN TEMPOUT TEMPOUT TINP IROUT TINN MLX90313 IROUT CS SCLK DIN DOUT CS SCLK SDI SDO REL1 CREF VSS REL VREFP VREF VSS/GND R3 MLX90601KZA-CKA MLX90601KZA-CKD MLX90601KZA-CLA R3 = 100kΩ C3 = 10µF The figure below shows a typical application with the AD8628 low-offset low-drift differential opamp from Analog Devices.
